In one’s honor: Acknowledging someone, usually as a way to celebrate or show appreciation or admiration; Showing respect or admiration for someone. As in We are holding a banquet in the president’s honor.

中文释义：in one’s honor用来表达向…表示敬意，等于in honor of sb。另外，in one’s honor 也可以表示为某人纪念， 为某人庆祝…等含义。虽然缅怀（庆祝）还可以用一个单词commemorate来表示，但是in one’s honor在口语中更常用。例句：A banquet was held in her honor.（为了欢迎她而举办了一次宴会.）补充：in memory of… = to the memory of… （为了纪念…）
